The Korea Entertainment Producers Association emphasized the importance of win-win cooperation between pop culture and arts planners and pop culture artists.

The Korean Entertainment Producers Association (Chairman Lim Baek-woon, Entertainment Association) today (13th) stated, “For the development of the Korean pop culture industry, it is important to maintain an equal relationship between pop culture and arts planners (promoters) and pop culture artists (entertainers).” “It is necessary,” he said.

We will take strong action against producers and entertainers who cause tampering." He added.
